Ok, so then here's my not-so-pet peeve:
There are all kinds of clever and remarkable things that the rc.d system
is performing, but they are useless if a sysadmin cannot figure them out
without either reading up acres of large shell scripts in /etc or
chancing upon a bit of documentation that has the relevant info (not
that i've seen anything in the docs related to the issue i was
describing).
I already noticed that there are all kinds of arcane config bits in
places such as /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth* that can be
very handy, but there's no way to unearth them other than printing out
all essential system scripts in /etc and reading them line by line.
Honestly, i hate to do that. Not because i'm lazy, but because i'm busy.
I assume i'm not the only one in this situation.
Try checking out the files in /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*.
Particularly, sysconfig.txt.
